We all have failures and regrets in life. What do we do with them? There is a remedy. Bill shares the confidence that he has now regarding these things. He talks about how he found forgiveness, and how we can to.

Bill is a Cree from northern Alberta. He was born and raised in the Whitefish Lake Cree Nation. He was sent away to residential school early in his childhood. He didn’t make it easy on the people there. Actually, he wasn’t allowed to go back.

And I thought about my Indian people, you know, when they would go into Kingman, my mom’s tribe, the Haulapai’s, only two or three of them could go into the store at one time. They wouldn’t let a whole bunch of Indians in because we were Indians and they didn’t trust us.

It’s tough growing up when you feel like you don’t fit in. For a little girl named Harriet, it was a lonely time. Listen as she reflects back on the early days of her life, and as she shares the most significant moment in her life… at a school away from home.

And I said, ‘Do you happen to remember, back in 1949, your mother coming into possession of a little Apache Indian baby?’ And she sucked in her breath – I heard it on the phone. And she said, ‘Why, why yes. Why do you ask?’ I said, ‘Well I’m that baby.’

I remember, early on, wondering a whole lot about my place in the world and if there was any significance to my life, or was I just kind of drifting along here like a twig sitting on the waves of the ocean, no significance, no background, no future.
